Yes, she was religious, but only conventionally so. The Shakespeares did all that the law required of them in terms of religious observance. They baptised the kids and attended church regularly. Religion in Shakespeare's day was almost all a matter of outward conformity and almost nothing to do with inner conviction. The only people who worried about inner conviction generally were worried that they were outwardly conforming to the wrong thing. Apparently William Shakespeare's father was of the view that he ought to conform to Catholic modes of worship. Shakespeare's son-in-law John Hall felt that the modes of worship were too Catholic. Neither of them cared enough about the issue to make martyrs of themselves. As for William and Anne, there is no reason to believe either of them thought much about religion at all.
